Why Parents Choose Our Private Preschool and Daycare Center
At Phoenix Children’s Academy, we focus on each and every child as an individual and strive to be an extension of your family. We will support, guide, and celebrate every step of their journey.
Our warm, experienced educators are passionate about early childhood development and treat every child like their own, creating a sense of trust and belonging from day one. Our inviting, age-appropriate daycare and preschool classrooms are designed with little ones in mind. We create safe, stimulating spaces where children feel comfortable exploring and growing.
We believe children learn best through play, which is why our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. When it’s too hot outside, we have an amazing indoor playground and gross motor room that keeps the children busy and engaged. Our preschoolers also love playing educational games on our school’s Smart Board.
Above all else, we are committed to providing a nurturing space where every child feels safe, seen, and celebrated each and every day.
School-to-Home Connection
Maintaining a strong partnership with our families is an important part of a successful daycare and early education experience. We keep our families informed about their child’s day and academic progress through a variety of communication pieces. Our students are constantly working towards important milestones, which are documented in Developmental Portfolios and track a child’s developmental journey from Infants all the way through Pre-Kindergarten.

Ascend Curriculum
Thanks to the flexibility of our Ascend Curriculum, we take an individualized approach to early childhood education and encourage every child to progress towards age-appropriate goals at their natural pace. New skills are introduced sequentially in 9 different learning domains each month and activities are modified to fit the interests and current skill level of each child. This skill-based approach to early education ensures that every child feels engaged, supported, and challenged and makes learning fun!
Kind Child Program
Another significant part of our curriculum is our Kind Child program. Kind Child is a year-long program for children ages two and older that helps our teachers nurture and strengthen every child’s social and emotional skills. We have found that when we focus on the emotional well-being of each child in our care, we strengthen our school as well. We are confident that Kind Child will continue to strengthen the culture of our entire preschool center by elevating every child’s feelings of happiness, improving their well-being, and enriching their friendships.

School Director
I have been working for Cadence since 2017. My favorite thing about working for Phoenix Children’s Academy is to see all the fun exciting activities our children do and watching them grow and develop new milestones. My passion is growing a team that is able to thrive and help children grow and offer them an environment like home. As the director at Lindsay, I strive to create a community that offers a safe environment for all children and families. I enjoy learning new ideas and finding ways to help all children be successful in preschool and set them up for success. In my spare time, I enjoy paddle boarding with my husband and our three children. Our weekends are busy with sports and extracurricular activities.
